Parades and other events

We have just a few more parades and events before we are done for the summer.  For all of these events, band students please wear your summer uniforms.  Parents who are attending please wear your Band Parent shirts.  And everyone come prepared for the heat.  Below is the info about each of the events.

Days of ’47 Youth Parade Sat July 19
We will be riding the bus to this event.  Call time is 6:30am at CHHS. Volunteers please meet at the school at that time as well.  We need more volunteers for this parade.  The parade starts at 9:30am.  This is a televised event, so be sure to watch the parade on KUTV channel 2.  Or if you prefer to attend in person, here is a link to information about this event.  http://www.daysof47.com/events/youth-parade/

Parade Preview and Lagoon Day Mon July 21
This event is a little different than the others.  We march and play at the South Towne Expo Center for the Days of ’47 Float Preview.  The students march inside the building where the floats are on display and then play pep band music for a time too.  Call time is at 8:30am at CHHS.  Volunteers meet at the school at that time as well.  The Days of 47 preview party is a fun event that is free admission.  It’s a nice way to see the floats for the parade without standing in the sun downtown.  Come join the fun!  For more information on the Float Preview Party, check out this website link:  http://www.daysof47.com/events/float-preview-party

Now for the info that I’m sure all the students have been waiting for - Lagoon Day!  Our band will go to Lagoon immediately following our performance at the Expo Center on Monday, July 21.  The bus will leave from the South Towne Expo Center and go directly to Lagoon.  If there are any students who cannot attend Lagoon, they will need to arrange rides home from the Expo Center.  We need parents willing to ride the buses as chaperones and go to Lagoon.   Admission for students will be discounted, but we are still waiting to get the discount tickets to know the price.  We will announce that as soon as we know.

Please bring a sack lunch, $ for admission, swimsuit and towel (if planning on doing the waterpark), etc. with you.  The bus will leave Lagoon at closing time 10pm.  Students can be picked up back at the school when the bus returns around 11:30pm.  Remember that Lagoon will not allow any purses or bags to be taken on rides, so you’ll need to rent a locker or keep things in pockets.  Be prepared for the heat and come have fun!  Lagoon’s website link: http://lagoonpark.com/

Fall Marchers Only Camp and Fall Drumline Auditions Tues July 22
Beginning at 9:00am at CHHS, will be this practice for all fall marching students.  They will also hold auditions for fall drumline on this date.

Flashlight fundraiser starts today

We are pleased to be able to offer a great fundraiser of HybridLight Flashlights.  Today they came to give us a demonstration and to give the students a sample flashlight to take home and to help them sell.  If your student wants to get a demo light they must bring $10 and pay for it in the main office.  Then give the receipt to Ms. Johnson and she will give out your flashlight.  YOU  DO NOT NEED A DEMO FLASHLIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS FUNDRAISER.  The demo light is to help aid you in your sales, but it is not necessary.  Look here for an order form you can print and use to collect sales information.  You can also look at the information sheet about the lights here.  You can find out more information about the product by checking out their website at www.hybridlight.com.

This fundraiser started today and will last for 3 weeks.  At the end of that time, we will hold a collection date on July 18 at 3:00pm. We have moved the last fee due date until after this fundraiser.  The flashlights sell for $20 each.  $8 of each sale goes back to the student who sold it.  And $2 of each sale goes to the general band fund.  For each student that sells 60 flashlights or more the company will give them a free spotlight.  And if our group as a whole sells 12,000 or more they will give us a giant pizza party!

Get out there to your family and friends and show them this great product.  It would be a welcome addition to anyone's emergency kit, camping supplies or just for your home.  This is a product that should be easy to sell here in Utah.
